Irene stood in the hallway that leads to her room and gazed at the bright night sky. Everyone had been so speechless after Edward disappeared in the demon woods. While the demons dispersed and everyone left to see what was left of their kingdoms, Alan had brought them home and even through the journey, no one had brought themselves to say a single word and the quietest was Aliyah.Irene had been so shocked by what happened as she never say it coming and her vision didn’t tell her that as well. At the moment, she knows what could be going through everyone’s mind. The look Edward gave them and his smile before he disappeared had plagued all of their minds as they all wondered what it would be now. Edward had risen to be the strongest being in all five realms: Nightwalkers, Night howlers, Demons, Witches and humans. Now he is unstoppable and if it was the former Edward, no one would have been as worried as they are now because the former only wanted nothing but to left alone to live his
Edward appeared in his palace. He stood in the hall he had called his throne room but have never really considered making it one. He reached up and wiped out the blood on the corner of his lips and with a wave of his hand, his red demon throne appeared on the far edge of the room, right where a throne should have been. His eyes flickered between red and blue and he shook his head and reached up to numb the growing headache. Ever since he had had to his fill the blood he had so longed for, his nightwalker’s strength had fully returned to max and since then, he had been feeling like a war was going on inside him.He didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, besides, deep inside he had always known that that would happen just as he had seen in his son and knew he would fight the same battle when he grows older. At the moment, he just needs to figure out how to control the two powers inside him and find a way to merge them and until he had achieved that, he had no plan of stepping out of
“Alpha,” a young warrior ran to meet Alan and Aton who were in the training ground just to distract themselves from what happened last night as they watched the wolves training. Seeing the boy approaching them, Alan frowned but the boy quickly went on his knees on approaching them. “Alpha,” he panted, “High Howlers are here.”“What?” Aton asked, sharing a look with Alan, “what happened?”“They just showed up, Beta, and they are demanding to see Alpha,” the boy answered.Alan sighed and with a curt nod, he said, “let’s go.” They left the training ground and Sean watched them leave, he had heard the boy’s report and for some reason, he could feel it in his gut that they are here for Aliyah and her healing abilities. After all, everyone knows how hard Alpha Damien have been searching for the antidote to heal the wolves and how he had been bothering and tasking Catherine to provide the antidote.“You think they are here for Aliyah?” a voice asked and he turned to see Eric walking up to hi
“Alpha Damien,” Alan bowed on approaching the man and he greeted the High Elders as well. “Please, come inside,” he offered and turned to lead them to the conference room. On getting inside the big space, he let Damien take his seat and made sure the Elders were seated as well before he stood in front of Damien and bowed. “May I know the reason to this early morning visit, High Howlers?”Aton bowed as well, standing beside his alpha while also wondering what the reason for the visit could be.Damien sighed and glanced from Alan to Aton and back to Alan. “What happened last night?”Alan and Aton shared a look before Alan turned to Damien to ask. “What exactly are you asking about, high alpha?”“Is it true that your daughter was kidnapped by the cat demons?” Damien asked, he could see the man was playing smart with him and knew that the only way he could get what he wants was by asking directly, besides, he deserves to know everything that is happening in every wolf pack.“Yes, high alp
“Aliyah, are you sure about this?” Steven asked just as the girl reached to cut her finger with the penknife. “I don’t want you regretting later?”“Steven, this is the only time I can do this. I have to use this mask on the mark before it breaks otherwise Edward would be charging here with all that happened last night,” Aliyah said, glancing at the girl.“I just want you to know Aliyah, no matter what happened, I will always be grateful for this,” Sarah said.Aliyah glanced at the woman and smiled, “it’s the least I can do Sarah, Steven has been really helpful to me and I will never shy away from anyway that I can help him.”“Thank you, thank you so much,” Ethan said and she smiled and turned back to the medium size black wolf before closing her eyes and heaving a deep sigh. For a moment, she remembered the day she had met the boy, that blood moon night that he had captured her interest, however she ended up finding her mate then before they could even travel through their friendship.
To say that Damien attitude shocked everyone was an understatement compared to the words that left his mouth. Alan glanced from the older man to the baby boy in his mate’s arms back to the older man. Surprisingly, Asher had stopped crying when Damien made his claim and to top it up, his eyes started shining blue light just like Damien’s.“And here I was, often bothered why I don’t feel this connection with first or any of my sons, turns out that the next High Alpha won’t be from my bloodline,” Damien whispered.“Alpha, what are you saying?” an elder asked, standing up, “for powers to be passed down from alphas, it has to be of the same bloodline. No history spoke of an alpha having his successor from another wolf that has not blood link to him. Surely, you must be mistaken, don’t you think?”“I am not just the alpha of a pack, Elder Luke, I am the alpha that creates alphas, I can make any wolf an alpha if I as much as wishes it, so I don’t think what you said imply to me. However, I m
Edward chuckled amidst the pain he was going. “Tempting, I would say but if a woman like you wants the throne this badly, it simply makes me want to hold onto it even more.”The woman smiled, “but what good is it to you holding onto it when you shall be in slumber really soon?” “I shall wake up.”“Aye, but how long? Another eight hundred years? Your son would be old or dead but then if at all he age like night howlers.”“I shall wake eventually.”“To chaos and destruction, obviously. Edward, with you out of the picture, there is nothing stopping me from whatever I want. Even now, you don’t pose a threat so don’t think everything would be calm and peaceful should go into slumber nor would you wake up to a calm world.”Edward knew she spoke of the truth, he could see it in her eyes that the woman meant every word she spoke but he does not understand was what she really wanted and what her role in the world is playing. He meant it when he said the woman had no soul and so therefore made
“Aliyah,” Irene yelled, running into the hall and behind her was a confused Rasmus. Everyone turned on their entrance and she quickly rushed to Aliyah who was getting up to meet her. “Edward…” she called, her voice seemed to be failing for she kept opening her mouth and closing it but nothing was coming out except Edward.“No, I have to go,” Rasmus said, finally suspecting what could be going on but as he got to the door, he paused and then turned to Alan, “can I borrow a car?”“You can borrow mine,” Sean said and stepped out in front of the door, “I’m coming with you.”Aliyah dropped Irene’s hand and rushed to them, “how fast can you drive?” she asked Rasmus.“Very fast,” he replied and she ran out of conference room, followed by Steven and Sean. A few seconds later, a car pulled over in front of the hall and the passenger’s door was pushed open. With speed, Rasmus rushed and entered the car in a second. The seat changing didn’t last long as the car sped away soon after.Irene watche
